Assignment for 1/27/2015!

Please make note of the following dates!

1.  Your "weight" animation is due on this day! Please make changes based on what was mentioned in critique and turn in a polished animation (black and white. NO color!) to me. This project is about progress, so I will need a video of both the first version of your project, and Version 2! Make sure you post your feedback from tuesday on the blog! (if you were absent, make sure you get feedback from your classmates before you complete your animation!)

Save your two versions as such: lastname_weightV1 and lastname_weightV2

2.  Begin work on your "impact" animation!  The time limit for this project is 6-10 seconds.  I'm expecting at least 62 drawings of your animation completed to get full credit! Double framed, this would equate to 5.1 seconds of animation.

For those of you that are worried about completing both projects, make note that I'm simply looking for improvements to your first assignment. These improvements are guided by your feedback on Tuesday.  If you missed class, get feedback to improve your project!

On your second assignment, make sure you finish the required number of drawings! I want to see your extremes, keys, and in-between drawings! I want to also see you using your reference. If you need more, remember the three best resources you have as an animator: The internet, each other, and the objects around you you can record with!

3. Begin research on your future design project!  This research will be the first step to producing an animated film this semester! We will still have other assignments in the interim, but to best prepare for this assignment I need you to do the following.  If you need an example look up content on how Art Deco was the premier design philosophy for Batman the Animated Series.


  • Research a historical (from extremely historic to contemporary) art movement, art period, or art style that you are interested in from a visual standpoint.  (Example, futurism, impressionism, baroque art, etc.) The work could be three dimensional, and even more sculptural in nature!
  • Take that art period and find works of art that represents it.  Use artist research, place images into a post onto your blog, and tell me why it interests you. Break it down into the visual content itself. What kind of forms and figures does it use?  Color palettes? Use of line, angles, and forms?



Also, make sure you have your 3 BOOKS on Tuesday. I will give you a reading!  I will also check your knowledge on the reading I asked you to do last week.



Have a nice weekend~! =D
